About this campground
Welcome to an off-road enthusiast's paradise, where adventure begins at your campsite door. This campground serves as your gateway to an extensive network of over 100 miles of OHV trails that wind through diverse terrain. Whether you're a beginner seeking gentle paths or an experienced rider craving heart-pounding challenges, you'll find trails perfectly suited to your skill level. From smooth, meandering routes ideal for families to technical obstacles that will test even the most seasoned riders, this is where memories are made on two wheels or four.
Fouts Campground is a primitive camping site that can accommodate RVs (with no hookups) and tents. It also functions as an OHV staging area.
Weather and SeasonsExperience the full spectrum of nature's moods throughout the year at this dynamic campground. Spring brings mild temperatures and wildflower blooms along the trails, while summer offers long, warm days perfect for extended riding adventures. Fall transforms the landscape with cooler temperatures and changing foliage, creating ideal conditions for comfortable camping. Winter brings its own charm with crisp air and quieter trails, though riders should prepare for possible rain and cooler conditions. Each season unveils a different face of this outdoor playground, ensuring no two visits are ever quite the same.
ElevationPerched at 1,607 feet above sea level, the campground offers a comfortable middle-elevation experience that combines the best of both worlds. This sweet spot provides relief from scorching valley heat in summer while remaining accessible year-round, unlike higher mountain destinations that may face winter closures.
Natural Features and ScenerySet alongside a babbling stream that provides a natural soundtrack to your camping experience, this campground immerses you in California's distinctive foothill ecosystem. Towering gray pines stand sentinel throughout the area, their distinctive long needles and massive cones creating dappled shade over campsites. The surrounding landscape is adorned with native brush that bursts with seasonal colors and provides habitat for local wildlife. The stream not only offers a refreshing respite after dusty trail rides but also attracts diverse bird species, making early morning coffee sessions a delight for nature enthusiasts.
Geological RegionNestled in California's foothill country where ancient waterways have carved their stories into the landscape, this campground showcases the region's characteristic blend of riparian and upland habitats. The meandering stream has shaped the local geology over millennia, creating the varied terrain that makes the OHV trails so exciting. Gray pines and hardy brush species have adapted perfectly to this transitional zone between valley and mountain, thriving in the well-drained soils and Mediterranean climate that define this unique ecological niche.
